To safely store frozen and deep-frozen foods, the
inner temperature of the freezer must be at least
-18°C or colder.
The thermostat knob setting should be adjusted
depending on the inner temperature of the appliance,
which, in turn, depends on a number of factors, such
as: the ambient temperature, the number of times the
door is opened, the quantity of food stored and the
location of the appliance.
A medium setting is generally the most suitable.

Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for
the production of ice-cubes.
Fill these trays with water, then put them in the
freezer.
Do not use metallic instruments to remove
the trays from the freezer.
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can
be thawed in the refrigerator or at room temperature,
depending on the time available for this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly
from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.
quick-freeze setting for at least three hours before
putting the food to be frozen in the compartment.
If instead the appliance is already in operation, it
should run on the quick-freeze setting for at least 24
hours before the foods are put in the freezer. Once
the foods have been placed in the freezer, the
freezing operation can be considered to be complete
24 hours later. Once freezing is complete, the freezer
should be reset for normal storage use.
Food to be frozen has to be placed in the
appliance's two top compartments; if freezing
only a small amount of food, use the top
compartment.
The maximum amount of food which is freezable in
24 hours is indicated on the rating plate. This is to be
found on the bottom left-hand side.
You should never freeze all at once a greater quantity
of foods than the maximum indicated on the
appliance’s rating plate.
Quick freezing
Activate fast freeze by depressing the fast freeze
switch ➁. The pilot lamp ➂will then light up. The
SUPER function can be ended by pressing the button
➁
again. The yellow light goes out.
Warning light
This light ➃ warns when the temperature inside the
appliance has increased so much as to jeopardize the
preservation of food in the compartment.
When the appliance is switched on for the first time or
when food is placed in the compartment for freezing,
this light remains on until the temperature has
reached the level required for correct storage.
Acoustic alarm
This appliance also incorporates an alarm which
gives off a sound signal whenever the warning light
comes on. This signal can be temporarily stopped by
depressing the push button for fast freezing ➁.
The fast freezing push button can be released as
soon as the warning light is off.
The appliance also incorporates an alarm which gives
off a sound signal when the door remains open for
more than 60 seconds. To stop this sound signal
close the door.
Freezing Calendar
The symbols on the drawers show different types of
frozen goods.
The numbers indicate storage times in months for the
appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether the upper
or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid
depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating
before freezing.
Storage of frozen food
When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has
been out of use for some time, we advise you to run
your appliance for at least two hours in the «fast
freeze» mode before storing frozen food.
Important
If there is a power failure when food is in
the freezer, do not open the door of the
freezer. The frozen food will not be affected
if the power cut is of short duration (up to
20 hours) and the freezer is full, otherwise,
it is recommended that the food should be
used within a short time (a temperature
increase of the frozen food shortens its safe
storage period).
Cold accumulators
The freezer contains two cold accumulators which
can be found in the top compartment. The cold
accumulators increase storage times in the event of a
power cut or breakdown. They must be placed on top
of the food.
Removal of these units will increase the capacity of
the fast freezing compartment but will reduce storage
times in the event of a power cut or breakdown.
Freezing of fresh foods
To quick-freeze foods when the appliance has not
been in use, switch on the freezer and let it run on the

TIPS
Tips for freezing fresh foods
To help you get the best out of the freezing process,
here are a few hints:
■ Freeze only good-quality, fresh and well-cleaned
foods. Split them into small portions to speed up
freezing and avoid having to thaw more food than
you require. It is in fact important to remember that
once the foods have thawed out, they deteriorate
fast.
■ Another point to remember is that lean foods keep
better and longer than fatty foods. Salt too reduces
storage times.
■ Wrap the foods in foil or polythene film, ensuring
that the wrapping adheres closely to the food and
is well sealed. In this way, by avoiding contact with
air, the colour flavour and nutritional value of the
foods remain intact.
■ During the freezing process, do not add further
foods for freezing and do not open the freezer
door.
■ The foods for freezing should not be placed in
contact with already frozen foods, but put in the
special freezing compartment. This will stop the
temperature of already frozen foods from rising.
■ Never put fizzy drinks in the freezer as they might
well burst.
■ In addition, never put hot foods or liquids in the
freezer compartment and take care not to fill
recipients up to the brim if they are covered with a
lid.
■ It is a good idea to mark the packs with the date
on which freezing started so that you can keep a
check on storage periods.
Tips for storage of commercially
frozen food
To get the best out of your freezer, in the case of
storage of commercially frozen food you should
ensure that:
■ the products have been correctly stored by the
retailer;
■ that there is only a very short time between when
you purchase the products and when you put them
in the freezer;
■ you do not store products for longer than the time
specified by the food manufacturer;
■ Avoid opening the door too frequently and when
you do open it, leave it open only for as long as is
strictly necessary;
■ A word of warning about ice lollies: they should not
be eaten straight out of the freezer as this might
cause cold burns.
Unplug the appliance before carrying out
any maintenance operation.
Warning
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its
cooling unit maintenance and recharging must
therefore only be carried out by authorised
technicians.
Defrosting
The freezer compartment will become progressively
covered with frost. This should be removed with the
special plastic scraper provided, whenever the
thickness of the frost exceeds 1/4".
During this operation it is not necessary to switch off
the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.
However, when the ice becomes very thick on the
inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out
and it is advisable to carry out this operation when the
appliance is empty.
MAINTENANCE
22
23
t
To carry out complete defrosting proceed as follows:
1. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of
newspaper and put it in a cool place.
2. Turn the thermostat control ➆to the «O» setting.
3. Leave the door open.
4. Remove the three large drawers.
5. When defrosting is completed, remove the water
that has collected in the small bottom drawer and
dry the interior thoroughly.
Keep the scraper for future use.
6. Turn the thermostat control to a medium setting
and, after letting the appliance run for at least two
hours in the «fast freeze» mode, replace the
previously removed food into the compartments.
Warning
Never use metal objects for defrosting your
appliance as it may get damaged.
Do not use a mechanical device or any
artificial means to speed up the thawing
process other than those recommended by
the manufacturer.
A temperature increase of the frozen food
shortens its safe storage period.
Periodic cleaning
Never use metal objects for clearing your appliance as
it may get damaged. Clean the inside with warm water
and bicarbonate of soda. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
The appliance is equipped with a ventilation grid. Keep
clean to guarantee good ventilation and good working
